Abstract
A composite for constructing an article which is composed of a nonmetallic substance as represented by igneous rock of different particle sizes which are compacted and then surrounded by a solidified plastic resin. In a preferred manner, the igneous rock material is a selected type of basalt with the basalt particles being of different mesh sizes to be compacted into a mold. After compaction, the plastic resin as represented by an epoxy resin is introduced into the mold so as to displace air from any voids surrounding the basalt particles and to surround them with a resin which later solidifies. A novel resin delivery system is also presented.
